Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Eagle Appraisals MN, Inc.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays a list of sales houses in your local area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where 
Eagle Appraisals comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a precise listing price for your home. Contact us today.

A skillful appraisal from Eagle Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we'll also:
  • Be a valuable negotiating tool once you find a potential buyer
  • Provide written proof of your house's shape inside and out to impress potential buyers
  • Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make yourself aware of problems
  • Reduce chances of unknown headaches that can cause sales to fall through
  • Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten
So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious buyers, which means you squander time and money and still have no offers. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

Improvements to add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Should we paint the entire house before we sell it... Is now the time to add a deck... Should I finish my closet remodel... Practically any project can affect value in some way. But each thing affects marketability differently. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

We can step in and help make these decisions. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Eagle Appraisals. When it comes to investing in your house and deciding on a fair sale price, we'll help homeowners make the smartest decisions.
